Intelligent warehouse system is a key component of modern logistics system, which aims to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing through automation and informatization. This kind of system can generally be divided into three main levels: equipment level, control level and management level. Each level plays an indispensable role and cooperates to realize the operation of the entire warehouse.
Equipment layer
The equipment layer is the physical foundation of the intelligent stereoscopic warehouse and consists of a series of automated logistics equipment, including but not limited to:
Lane stacker: used to access goods in a dense shelf system.
Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) system: a guided car used to carry goods or pallets.
Automatic conveyor line: It is used to move goods continuously and realize automatic transmission from one workstation to another.
Automatic reclaiming manipulator: used to grab and place goods.
Three dimensional shelf: provide vertical storage space and storage capacity of the warehouse. These equipment work together to realize the automatic storage, retrieval and handling of goods, thus improving the storage density and operating efficiency of the warehouse.
Control layer
The control layer is the "brain" of intelligent stereoscopic warehouse, which is composed of WCS (Warehouse Control System) and is responsible for:
Automatically receive scheduling tasks, and schedule robots, stackers, conveyors and other equipment according to task requirements.
Realize the control of logistics equipment and ensure the coordinated operation of equipment.
Monitor the operation status of hardware equipment, timely detect and handle abnormal conditions, and ensure the stable operation of the system. The WCS system can respond to the requirements of the equipment layer in real time to ensure the orderly execution of all logistics activities.
management layer
The management level, located at the T O P level of the intelligent warehouse system, is composed of WMS (Warehouse Management System) and is responsible for:
Daily planning, organization, staffing, guidance and control of the use of available resources.
Handle and store individual SKUs, optimize warehouse functions and distribution management.
It provides business logic processing, including inventory management, order processing, batch tracking and other functions. The WMS system is closely integrated with the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of data and support decision-making and strategic planning.
These three levels are interdependent and together constitute the core architecture of the intelligent warehouse system. The equipment layer provides the physical foundation, the control layer ensures the coordination of equipment, and the management layer realizes the intelligent management and optimization of the entire system, jointly promoting the development of the warehouse to a higher level of automation and intelligence.
